Here’s what you can do to protect your privacy when using public Wi-Fi networks:

1. Avoid accessing sensitive and confidential material, such as bank accounts, while using public Wi-Fi.
2. Make sure your firewall is enabled and updated.
3. Use antivirus software to protect your devices.
4. Turn off networking services on your device when not in use.
5. Use secure webpages over public Wi-Fi, with websites that start with https instead of http.
6. Use a virtual private network or VPN when possible.
